i agree that peter has earned his shot, But it is not Vitali klitschko's fault that he is using a RIGHT that was given to him.

Everyone of the klit fans say that he's crazy for not taking the money but he's not from the new breed of so-called fighters that you hear talking about money all the time. He is a real fighter with honor that actually cares more about fighting and being the best than money.

Bottom line is this, the wbc, maskaev and vitali are all to blame here. The wbc is trying to squrrel their way out liability by trying to have someone else make the decision for them and it's just dirty.

How can you guys in good conscience call yourself boxing fans with bias thinking like that? Do you realize how something like this, if it happens, will set the tone for much more corruption in the sport real boxing fans love. MMA is supposed to be a distant second but things like this are driving fans away and giving UFC a chance to catch up and eventually pass boxing.
why are they counter Offering?
They are trying to meke it impossible so vitali will have no choice but to wait his turn. If it was about the money, Peter would have taken that money already because that's alot of money to be passing on. You name another fighter who would turn down that much to sit and wait.
ok, let me ask this alittle slower.
Why........Is...........Duva/King.......Counter.......Offering
to counter offer means, they say no to 2.5 mill and ask for more, and if they ask for more and WBC says yes, THEN that means "team peter" will step aside.
